Office of Service Learning Survey

Please take a few moments to fill out this very brief survey for the Office of Service Learning. We are trying to discern attitudes about and practices of Service Learning across UMass Boston in order to identify how our office can best assist faculty. There have been attempts to collect some of this information in the past, but this is a unique effort that we are hoping to have 100% participation. Completing the survey should take about 3 minutes.

Faculty Service Learning Survey

Service Learning is a pedagogy that integrates academic coursework and community service as it focuses on critical, reflective thinking and civic responsibility. Service-learning programs involve students in organized community service that addresses local needs, while developing their academic skills, sense of civic responsibility and commitment to community.
